Freshlaw Central

Congratulations on your admission! We’re excited to have you become part of the Texas Law tradition and Longhorn family.

Our goal is to make your first year of law school a fantastic experience. You will be learning a new way to think. You will be taking your first steps toward a rewarding career. You will be getting to know the pleasures of Austin (if you haven’t experienced them already!). And you will be joining a community in which everyone is passionate about everyone else’s success.

It is an exciting time. The process starts with your transition to campus and to life as a first-year law student, or “freshlaw.” The Office of Admissions, and the Student Affairs Office, are here to help make that transition smooth and successful for you. Below and to the right are links to help you get started.
